Impact of Obesity on Health of Aged People

This research proposal aims to investigate the impact of obesity on the life and health of aged people. It also aims to evaluate health measures to reduce obesity among the elderly population. The research will explore the negative impacts of obesity on old age people and identify measures through which they can be given treatments. The study will also examine the health services provided to old age people and the measures that can be taken by social healthcare services to improve their living standards.

Title:
To find out the impact of obesity in health of aged people and how medical science is
finding new medical treatments and healthcare practices.
Aim
 To find out the impact of obesity on life and health of old people
 To evaluate health measures to reduce obesity among aged people

Objectives:
 To evaluate the health services provided to old age people
 To evaluate negative impact of obesity on old age people (Schroeder and Serra-Majem,
2018).
 To identify measures through which old age people can be given treatments
Research question
 What are the impacts of obesity on old age people?
 What are the health services through which obesity can be reduced?
 What measures can be taken by social healthcare services to improve old aged population
living standards?
Rationale and background to study:
Rationale behind the topic of research can be understood as it has one of the most
important health concerns coming up into world where obesity percentage is vastly
increasing. The rationale behind evaluating negative impacts of obesity on old age people can
also be evaluated and factored as highly important topic as it involves bringing social factors
and medical facilities which can improve their health parameters. Obesity is highly becoming
health risk leading to various diseases and health problems where they are unable to live
healthy life (Muret-Wagstaff and Lopreiato, 2019).
Quantitative Research:
It refers to finding out the problem by generating numerical data or data which can be
transformed into statistics. This research is all about the attitudes, opinions, behaviors and
other variables prevailing in the different projects to provide general results from a large
sample population. Quantitative Research can be done through different methods such as
sampling methods, online surveys, questionnaires, online polls etc. In this research,
mathematical frameworks and theories used which make quantity to question by researcher
and statisticians.
Qualitative Research:
It can be termed as market research that obtains data through open-ended and
communication in the project. Research can be performed by taking interview sessions in the
market in order to generate data for the project. Researching can be done on random basis,
which simply means generating of reviews from the customers prevailing in the market by
having communication with them (O'Leary, 2018).

Positivism research:
Positivism is the view to ‘factual’ knowledge generated through observations which
include measurement. In this research, researcher has limitation of data collection and
interpretation in achieving the objective. Positivism is the quantity observations which results
in statistical analysis by mathematical theories. This research is aimed at explaining and
predict of the data to obtaining the results from the project. Positivism is observation of
knowledge through the human senses or experience during the project.
For the given project qualitative method of research will be used.
Data collection:
It is method that is used to collect or gather large amount of information so that particular
information can be derived and appropriate decision can be taken. There are two methods for
collecting data for research proposal such as:
 Primary method: It is method where data is collected through first hand or primary
interview with individual, observation or questionnaire asked to target group of people. It is
beneficial method as accuracy of data can be maintained but at the same time lot of time,
efforts are waste to collect information related to particular topic.
 Secondary method: It is another method that is used to collect data from secondary sources
such as books and journals, publish articles, newspaper and magazines. Therefore such data
may be accurate or not it depend upon primary research of data whereas it is less time
consuming and in-depth knowledge of topic of primary data can be generated through such
sources to make research useful.
Therefore the research have been conducted by use of primary information so that correct
information can be analyzed and collected within limited time and cost to make research
effectives.
Sampling methods:
Sampling is the procedure of selecting group of individuals from large population where it is
crucial method of research as it helps to gain data from specific population size. It can be
classified into probability sampling and non probability sampling where in probability
sampling group and individuals are selected randomly as sample form large population
whereas non probability sampling is selected on the basis of their potentialities and
capabilities where the desire is to achieve desirable outcomes. In sampling there will be 10

people selected for questioners through which proper analysis can be done for gaining
accurate information.
Ethical consideration:
The researches have been completed while following ethical consideration so that no
harm can be caused to participate. It has also ensured that confidentiality of data so that
personal information can be used for unjust purpose. While making research all ethical
practice have been followed such as respect to all participate and consent have been taken to
avoid any legal or ethical complication in future time. Primary data have been collected
without any bias such as gender, caste and religion to make better and effective research of
particular information. Therefore adequate level of confidentiality of data and personal
information has been taken care in the research report (Walliman, 2017).
Data management and analysis:
Data management is an effective procedure of administrative process that includes
acquiring, validating, protecting and processing required data for ensuring the effective
accessibility, reliability and timelines of data. Analysis of the accessed data will be done with
proper functioning for gaining accurate results and findings for further reporting procedure.
The data collected will be used form primary resources for gaining high quality inputs which
will enable to get accurate findings, data through which higher output can be generated
among the project.
Dissemination of results:
The analysed data shall be concluded under proper focus and detailed analysis of
results through which accurate outcomes can be presented for the project this will be focused
on to integrate all reliable sources of information for bigger technical efficiency and
presentable working performance through targeted presentation and constructed planning
used into tools to bring high relevant information (Wong and Psych, 2016).
